Complete Packaging Line Solutions for Food Manufacturers
From primary packaging to secondary packing and end-of-line automation, Smartpack designs integrated packaging systems that improve output, reduce labor dependency, and simplify factory operations.
What Is Included in a Packaging Line?
A packaging line is a complete automated system designed to move products from processing to finished packaging and palletized output. Different products require different packaging methods, automation levels, and handling systems.
Smartpack designs packaging lines based on product characteristics, target output, bag style, factory layout, and labor conditions.
Typical packaging workflow:
Feeding → Weighing → Primary Packaging → Inspection → Secondary Packaging → Case Packing → Palletizing

Tray Sealing Packaging Line
Used for ready meals, meat, seafood, vegetables, and fresh food applications requiring modified atmosphere packaging or sealed tray presentation.
Secondary Packaging System
Secondary packaging systems organize finished bags, pouches, trays, or containers into cartons or shipping cases for distribution and warehouse handling.
More food manufacturers are investing in secondary packaging automation to reduce labor costs and improve packaging consistency.
Secondary Packaging Functions:
- Bag counting and collating
- Pouch loading into cartons
- Trays loading into cartons
Secondary packaging is especially important for retail-ready packaging, export packaging, and e-commerce distribution.

Bag Lay-On Carton System
Finished bags are automatically arranged flat inside cartons for stable stacking and transportation.
Bag Stand-In Carton System
Designed for stand-up pouches and retail-ready packaging where bags are positioned upright inside cartons for better presentation and shelf display.
Trays In Carton System

Jar In Carton System
Automatically arranges and loads jars into cartons for safer transportation and organized retail or warehouse packaging.
End-of-Line Automation
End-of-line automation improves production stability and reduces manual handling after packaging is completed.
Smartpack integrates inspection systems, carton handling, palletizing, and automation into complete end-of-line solutions, helps manufacturers improve labor efficiency, maintain packaging consistency, and support high-output production environments.
